Spa Claims "Python Massage" Induces Fear in Order to Boost Metabolism

Customers at a spa in Bali, Indonesia, can now opt for a new, slithery type of treatment: a “python massage.” Offered at the Bali Heritage and Reflexology Spa, the procedure requires customers to lie on their stomach as a python slithers along their back, Medical Daily reported. The spa maintains there’s no reason to fear being eaten mid-massage, as customers are accompanied by two staff members throughout the process and all pythons are fed 30 minutes before the treatment begins.
